What is a DynamoDB database?

A DynamoDB database is a key-value NoSQL database that is managed by AWS. When you use DynamoDB, you don’t need to create a new database. You don’t need to provision a server either; it is fully managed by AWS. It is one of the most popular cloud-based NoSQL databases, and the performance is very good if you are using key-based access. The main advantage is that you can access data within a latency of milliseconds along with billions of records.
